ECH-PCI-SF2-H7A/F7A : PCI bus slots (x 7) can be added.
This expansion chassis is connected to a PC using an optional expansion adapter.
- PCI bus boards can be connected.
You can connect short-type [176.5 (L) x 107 (H) mm] PCI bus boards.
You can connect long-type [313.8(L)×107(H) mm] PCI bus boards.
ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A : Accepting short-size PCI bus boards (x 4).
ECH-PCI-SF2-H7A : Accepting short-size PCI bus boards (x7).
ECH-PCI-SF2-F7A : Accepting long-size PCI bus boards (x 7).

Restrictions
This product is used in a combination with the optional expansion adapter. The following restrictions
apply to the situation when the expansion adapter is connected to the expansion chassis.
This product has restrictions on the types of PCs and boards that can be used.
Be sure to check the following restrictions before use.
< Restrictions of PC >
This product use the switch fabric to extend the bus.
The PCI boards plugged in PCI slots in this product is recognized if the switch fabric is recognized as
the PCI-to-PCI bridge by the BIOS in the PC used. Ask the PC vendor for whether the BIOS
recognizes the PCI-to-PCI bridge.
< Restriction on power interlocking >
Power interlocking does not work well if the PCI bus slots on your PC do not conform to PCI Local
Bus Specification Rev. 2.2. Ask the PC vendor for whether the PCI bus slots conform to the
specification.
When power interlocking is not needed, the expansion chassis can be used without it by changing the
setting of the expansion bus adapter in the chassis. For details on setting up, refer to Chapter2,
“Setup”.
< Restrictions on transfer rate >
When the expansion chassis accommodates a board that performs high-speed transfer such as bus
mastering, the overall transfer rate may be lower than that of PCI bus slots in the main unit of a
desktop PC.
This is caused by bus extension by the PCI-to-PCI Bridge.
The transfer rate may vary with the system configuration and the type of the PC.
< Restrictions of PCI board >
None of the following boards can be plugged into any expansion slot in this product.
- Video display board (VGA board)
- Board to connect a PCI bus expansion chassis
- Board explicitly stated not to be used with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Some boards, even PCI-compliant ones, may not work depending on their specifications
